Reporters covering the ongoing assault of Gaza and Lebanon are under unprecedented attack. The Israeli military has killed more journalists in Palestine than in any previous war. Press freedom groups are speaking out.
The Courage Foundation has helped organize a coalition of news outlets, press freedom groups, and more than 100 journalists to coauthor a letter to the U.S. State Department, condemning U.S. complicity in the Israeli killing of Palestinian journalists covering the ongoing assault in Gaza and Lebanon. The U.S. must immediately cease sending weapons to Israel in light of the country’s widespread killing of Palestinian reporters and refusing entry to foreign press, a clear attempt to shield their actions from public scrutiny.
